JAY CHOU - Yeh Hwei Mei (Mandarin/Sony Music)
I always find it difficult to categorise Jay Chou. There is no denying his talent and creativity but when it comes to singing style, his unclear diction can be a pain rather than a pleasure. But fans aren't complaining as his albums sell like hot cakes.
Yeh Hwei Mei is actually the name of Chou's mother and is used as the title of his album to balance the title track that is based on fatherhood titled In The Name Of the Father (Yi Fu Zi ming). There is a wide variety of tracks here, and the use of instruments like the pipa and erhu offers and interesting and melodic blend. Check out tracks like Clear Day (Ching Tian), Third Year Class Two (San Nian Er Pan) andTung Feng Po, among others.
Performance : 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars
--------
There r reviews of David Tao (Ultrasound) and Eason Chan (Live for the Day) albums too. They were both given 3 1/2 stars too.
